Location:
Mikúlino and Shámshevo
The "Partisan War", which seems to refer to guerilla activity, began when the French reached Smolénsk. The power of this kind of warfare was first recognised by Davýdov and he is credited with normalising it.
Denísov and Dólokhov have a plan that involves Denísov's Cossacks watching the French column on their way from from Mikúlino and Shámshevo. They would then join forces with Dólokhov's men, and then attack the French at Shámshevo at dawn.
Denísov sends a man called Tíkhon Shcherbáty to capture a French quartermaster to press for information.
